Figure Lengend Snippet: Molecular and cellular characterization of male and female gonadal somatic cells. A. Identification of the mRNA expression level of sex-related genes in male and female gonadal somatic cells by qRT-PCR. * P < 0.05, significant difference; ** P < 0.01, extremely significant difference. B. Detection of the expression changes of sex-related genes in male and female gonadal somatic cells by Western blot. C. Observation of the expression of FOXL2 and SOX9 in male and female gonadal somatic cells by immunofluorescence. Anti- FOXL2 / SOX9 conjugated to FITC was shown as a green fluorescence signal. Nucleus staining with DAPI was shown as a blue signal. Scale bars: 500 μm (upper), 100 μm (lower).
Article Snippet: The male gonadal somatic cells were incubated with SOX9 antibody (1:200, SOX9 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [SN74-09], Huaan Biotech, diluted in 3 % BSA) and the female gonadal somatic cells were incubated with FOXL2 antibody (262C1a) (1:50, FOXL2 antibody [262C1a]; sc-81275, Santa Cruz).
